The most recent Government directives for Lockdown2 mean we will not be able to meet on a Tuesday or Thursday for 4 weeks from 5th November until 2nd December as we must all ‘Stay at Home’
‘Stay at Home’ means you must not leave or be outside of your home except for specific purposes. This includes exercise outdoors with the people you live with, with your support bubble or, when on your own, with 1 person from another household

1. Lockdown2 Busters.
To keep us running together whilst apart during lockdown Captain Kevin will be posting two events each week: Kevin posts The Virtual Tuesday efforts on the Members Facebook page on a Monday and the Route of the week also on the Members Facebook page.
Thanks to all those who took part on week 1 of the ‘Lockdown Busters’, the ‘Route of the Week’ and ‘Virtual Tuesday’. This week there will be two routes of week, one on road from Steve Dimond and the other off road from Lizzie Williams. It would be great to see more people joining in and sharing their comments. Do both and tell us your favourite. The two routes and the session for Tuesday will all be published on Facebook only. If you do not have access to Facebook and want to take part please e-mail captain@thornburyrunningclub.co.uk and Kevin will forward the information to you.
2. Virtual training & support group for a Half Marathon
Jim Williams is leading a training and support group that he is putting together during this Lockdown period. The goal will be Half Marathon in the spring. There is more on this on the TRC Members Facebook page.
If interested please contact Jim Williams directly from the Facebook page or jim_williams@me.com
3. TRC are part of the High6 Sports Club Reward Programme.

4. Club e-mail to Members
Some of you may have noticed that you are getting this weekly e-mail twice! Our Technical experts are trying to sort this out but in the meantime please bear with us and just delete the second copy.
5. Fancy running a Marathon?
Richard Illingworth spotted this in the press this week and thought it might be of interest for anyone with Marathon aspirations . (Richard held the Club London Marathon record for many years – 2.57.33 in 1989)
